Question

multiple choice 2 points. the table corresponds to which of the following scatterplots?

miles traveled	miles left to destination
4	36
5	35
7	33
9	31
14	26
16	24
18	22
21	19
24	16

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship in the table

As the miles traveled increase, the miles left to destination decrease.

Step2: Examine the scatter - plots

We need to find a scatter - plot where the points show a negative linear trend.

Answer:

The scatter - plot that shows as the value on the x - axis (miles traveled) increases, the value on the y - axis (miles left to destination) decreases is the correct one. Without seeing all the options clearly, we know it should be a scatter - plot with points generally sloping downwards from left to right. If the two scatter - plots shown follow this logic, the one with a more consistent negative trend (points more closely following a straight - line with a negative slope) would be the best match.
